But you would never say that, unless you actually wanted to confuse people!
In your example, you'd have to say the mother or the daughter, but not in my example
How does your example read if you change 'she' for 'they'?
I think you've missed the point. You don't say it that way because it's ambiguous and it's natural to avoid the ambiguity. The same applies to your example; you're speaking in an intentionally awkward way and you already know how you'd say it normally.
